Posted by Sarahbear on August 2, 2011

Someone I know linked a tumblr called ‘Tea Party Jesus‘ on their Facebook page today and I’ve been scanning through the crazy all day long. There are 34 pages of postcards with racist, homophobic, sexist, classist, and absolutely ridiculous literal quotes there so you may want to make sure you haven’t met your daily quota [...]

Posted by Sarahbear on July 15, 2011

California just passed a law requiring that gay history be taught in public schools. When it was mentioned on the news I didn’t have much of a reaction. A slight smile, perhaps, but it didn’t seem like anything major. I spent a few hours sorting through the kids clothes and rearranging their bedrooms and then [...]

Posted by Sarahbear on May 22, 2011

I’m sitting on my living room couch right now, feeling more than a little bit guilty for not being able to make it to the counter-protests against the Westboro Baptist Church in Savannah, GA this morning. I’m originally from Hinesville, GA and spent many, many weekends visiting that wonderful city. It is a beautiful community. [...]

My friend, Heather, directed me to an article about a photo in a J. Crew catalog that sparked a lot of criticism from a writer for Fox News. With the attacks Dr. Keith Albow lodged against mother, Jenna Lyons, you would think that she had neglected and abused her little boy, Beckett. Yeah, well, it [...]

Posted by Sarahbear on March 16, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, my sister and I were leaving the mall in Warner Robins, GA. We saw a poster that stopped us in our tracks. Here was a black and white photograph of a beautiful little girl with a sad look on her face. It was deliberately made to look like a mugshot. [...]

Posted by Sarahbear on March 15, 2011

It’s been about 8 months since I started putting in a lot of effort on losing weight and getting in shape. I haven’t made any new progress since January. I’m still hovering around 25 lbs lost, though I’m pretty pleased that I have maintained it at least. I’ve been keeping pretty good track of my [...]

Posted by Sarahbear on March 12, 2011

I just spent about 2 hours, maybe 3, writing a blog. It was sparked by a new bill that was introduced by Rep. Barry Loudermilk which would restrict abortions in Georgia from being performed after the 20th week of pregnancy. Well, that’s what it initially said. Then he added in some more stuff at the [...]

Posted by Sarahbear on December 28, 2010

It’s been a while since I wrote anything about fat acceptance. I’ve kind of distanced myself from many of the blogs I use to frequent because they’ve transitioned along with their authors lives and aren’t relevant to me anymore. I also don’t really need them anymore. At least not for the same reasons I needed [...]

Tonight, Chad came home from work and grabbed his plate. He plopped down in his computer chair to eat and play around online. I was reading some stuff on my laptop when he said ‘You need to come here and read this.’ I looked at him funny because I didn’t get what he was so [...]

Posted by Sarahbear on November 6, 2010

Apparently Lampchop (the co-star of Adulter-Us, or rather Adulter-Me since Kendoll’s wife discovered the blog and he decided they needed to ‘take a break’) recently stumbled onto the post I wrote after discovering her blog. She wasn’t very pleased with the accurate picture of adultery that I painted and wrote a blog calling me a [...]
